7 Benefits of the Blood of Christ

~ Are You Secure In The Blood of
Jesus Christ?~

In many
churches today the blood of Christ is rarely mentioned. The Bible talks a lot about
the blood of our Savior. Consider some of the benefits we receive as a result
of the shed blood of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins.

(1)The
Blood of Christ Procures Redemption~“In Him we have redemption
through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His
grace” (Ephesians
1:7).

(2)The
Blood of Christ Secures Justification~“For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ
died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet
perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His
own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Much more then, having now been justified
by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him” (Romans 5:6-9).

(3)The
Blood of Christ Ensures Cleansing~“But
if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one
another, and the blood of Jesus Christ
His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive
ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful
and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If
we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us” (1
John 1:7-10).

(4)The
Blood of Christ Makes Peace~“For it pleased the
Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all
things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His
cross. And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked
works, yet now He has reconciled” (Colossians 1:19-21).

(5)The
Blood of Christ Effects Sanctification~“Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His
own blood, suffered outside the gate” (Hebrews 13:12).

(6)The
Blood of Christ Gives Nearness~“But now in Christ Jesus
you who once were far off have been
brought near by the blood of Christ” (Ephesians
2:13).

(7)The
Blood of Christ Brings Victory~“Now
salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His
Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our
God day and night, has been cast down. And they
overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony”(Revelation
12:10-11a).

(Summary)The
Blood of Christ Offers Forgiveness~
“Without the
shedding of blood there is no forgiveness”
(Hebrews 9:22b).
